Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a semiconductor processing method, particularly to a semiconductor processing method for processing a semiconductor having a metal deposition structure on a high dielectric constant insulating film. [Prior Art] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses that when a photoresist is removed on an insulating film having a low dielectric constant called an i〇w_k film which is formed on an interlayer insulating film of a semiconductor element, The technical content of a hydrogen atom or a neutral radical of a hydrogen molecule taken out from a plasma of a mixed gas of hydrogen and a rare gas. Here, in the method of removing a photoresist using oxygen plasma in general, it is revealed that the dielectric constant is increased due to deterioration of oxidation or the like of the l〇w-k film, and therefore a method of removing the photoresist without using oxygen is employed. In addition, the literature also discloses a technique for increasing the temperature of the substrate from 200 ° C to 400 ° C to increase the removal rate of the photoresist, and irradiating the NH 3 plasma or CF 4 plasma to deform the surface of the photoresist. The technique of removal. Patent Document 2 describes a cleaning method for removing contamination while preventing W degradation in a semiconductor element including a metal gate having a high-melting-point metal electrode such as W. Here, a technique for thermally oxidizing a wafer in an environment containing hydrogen and water vapor, and then cleaning the wafer by a liquid containing no hydrogen peroxide is disclosed. In this method, since the W layer is not oxidized, the W oxide layer is removed by washing. Further, in the paragraphs of -4 - 201001535 0 0 5 5 and 0 0 5 6 of the document, the technical contents of using oxygen plasma in the removal of the photoresist after dry etching of the element are described. (Patent Document 1) Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2005-229130 (Patent Document 2) JP-A-2005-229130 SUMMARY OF INVENTION [Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As shown in Patent Document 2, in the prior art, Oxygen plasma is used in the removal of photoresist from the components of the metal gate structure. However, when the processing line width is 65 nm or less in the progress of the miniaturization of the element, the side wall of the metal electrode such as Ti, Ta, or Ru is oxidized by the oxygen used for the removal of the photoresist, so that the impedance is increased. There is a problem of component degradation. When the processing line width of the element is large, since the thickness of the oxide layer in the side wall is small as a whole, the increase in the aforementioned impedance does not cause a problem. Therefore, in the prior art, no solution to this point has been mentioned. The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and provides a metal conductor suitable for depositing on a high dielectric constant insulating film. A semiconductor processing method for performing microfabrication. (Means for Solving the Problem) The present invention employs the following means in order to solve the above problems. a photoresist film containing Ti or Ta or Ru formed on the insulating film having an insulating film containing Hf or Zr formed on the semiconductor substrate, and using -4: 201001535 for a photoresist formed on the conductor film In the semiconductor processing method for processing the conductor film in a plasma environment, the photoresist is removed in a plasma environment containing hydrogen and no oxygen. (Effect of the Invention) According to the present invention, in the semiconductor having the structure in which the metal conductor is deposited on the high dielectric constant insulating film, fine processing can be performed without deteriorating the element. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Fig. 1 is an explanatory view showing a semiconductor processing method according to a first embodiment, and Fig. 1(a) is a cross-sectional view showing a semiconductor element to be processed. As shown in Fig. 1(a), the semiconductor device is provided with a Si substrate 101, a HfSiON film 102 as a high dielectric constant insulating film sequentially formed on the Si substrate 101, and a conductor film for controlling a metal as a work function. The TiN film 103; the W film 1 0 4 as an electrode material; the S iN film 1 0 5 as a cover member (c ap ); and the anti-reflection film 106. Here, a high dielectric constant HfSiON film 102 is used as a gate insulating film (high-k film) of the FET, and a TiN film 103 is used as a metal gate, whereby a high-k film/metal gate can be formed. Constructed FET. The thickness of each of the films is 2 nm for the HfSiON film 102, 1 〇 nm for the TiN film 103, 50 nm for the w film 104, 50 nm for the SiN film 105, and 80 nm for the anti-reflection film 106, and the photoresist 107 is 200nm. 201001535 Fig. 1(a) shows the initial state of the process, and the photoresist 107 which is formed by the lithography is located at the uppermost layer. Fig. 1(b) shows the use of a thinned photoresist I 〇 7 ' radiation preventing film 106, SiN film 105, W film 104 after the step of trimming the photoresist to make the line width thin. The shape of the TiN film 103 after etching. The preparation was performed by etching the SiN film 105 in a plasma atmosphere of an Ar/02 mixed gas using a mixed gas slurry of SF6/CHF3/Ar. Further, in the etching of the W film 104 and TiN, SF2 gas was supplied in an amount of 5 ml/min, CI2 gas was supplied at a flow rate of 20 ml/min, CHF3 gas was supplied at a flow rate of /min, and a flow rate N2 gas of 10 ml/min was supplied. Use a plasma of pressure IPa. Figure 1 (e) shows the step of removing the photoresist from the photoresist by hydrogen plasma. Here, the substrate temperature was set to 30 ° C, H 2 gas was supplied at a flow rate of 5 〇 ml / minute, and a plasma of a pressure of 1 Pa for N 2 gas was supplied at a flow rate of 50 ml / minute. By this step, the photoresist 107 radiation preventing film 106 can be removed. Fig. 1(c) is a view showing the shape after completion of the removal of the photoresist. Among them, TaN, TaSiN, Ru, RuO or the like can be used in addition to the conductor film 103 for controlling the metal by the work function. Fig. 2 is an explanatory view showing a processing apparatus for processing a semiconductor element. This device is a device called an electron cyclotron (ECR) system. The electromagnetic antenna 202, quartz, etc., which are emitted from the plasma power source 201, are transmitted through the window 203 of the electromagnetic wave to the true pattern 107. The stream of 40ml is supplied to remove the clock, making it with the inverse map. TiN (electrical vibration (wave pass cavity 201001535 room (reduced pressure treatment chamber) 204. The chamber 204 maintains an etching gas at a constant pressure, and the gas is plasmatized by the electromagnetic wave to cause reactive ions to enter the crystal. The circle 206' is thereby subjected to etching or photoresist removal. The sample stage 205 holding the wafer 206 is connected to a bias power source 207 for accelerating incident ions. In this device, the magnet wire 208 is used. A magnetic field is generated in the chamber 024. If the magnetic field strength is set in such a manner that the electrons in the plasma rotate at a frequency corresponding to the frequency of the plasma power source 20 i, the power is effectively absorbed by the plasma, and the voltage can be low. Maintaining a higher plasma density. The magnetic field strength can be set by changing the current 流 flowing to the electromagnetic coil 206. The processing device used for etching or photoresist removal can use, for example, inductive coupling. An ICP plasma processing apparatus or the like is not limited to the ECR method. Figs. 3 and 4 are explanatory views for explaining the effects of the present invention, and Fig. 3 is a view showing the photoresist removal using the oxygen plasma of the prior art. State diagram, Fig. 4 is a schematic diagram comparing the impedance ratio (average unit sectional area impedance) of the gate wiring after removing the photoresist using hydrogen plasma and oxygen plasma. Among them, the part shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 1 The same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted. In the photoresist removal using the oxygen plasma 301 as shown in Fig. 3, the metal conductor film, that is, the W film 104, TiN The film 103 is exposed to the sidewall of the plasma to form an oxide layer 320. Therefore, when the gate wiring width is 1 〇〇 nm or less, particularly 65 nm or less, as shown in FIG. 4, the influence of the oxide layer 302 may change. On the other hand, when hydrogen plasma is used instead of oxygen plasma, the metal film -8-201001535 is not oxidized, so the wiring impedance rate hardly increases. When the wiring impedance is increased, the power consumption of the device increases, and the high-speed operation of the device is hindered. The higher the substrate temperature, the higher the removal rate of the photoresist, but when considering the deterioration of the metal material, etc., the ratio is 20 (TC or less). Good. In addition, from 30 ° C to 100 ° C More preferably, as described above, by using a hydrogen plasma when removing a photoresist having a semiconductor element having a high-k film and a metal material (metal gate), deterioration of the element (metal gate) can be suppressed. 5 and 6 are views showing the second embodiment. In this example, when the photoresist is removed by hydrogen plasma, the processing speed is increased by applying a bias voltage to the germanium substrate (wafer). 2, the plasma etching apparatus is provided with a bias power source 207 for accelerating ions incident on the wafer 206. The frequency of the bias power source 207 is usually a high frequency of about 40 OKHz to 20 MHz. The power source accelerates the ions incident on the wafer 206 to improve the photoresist removal speed. The fifth figure shows the wafer bias power (40 OKHz) and the photoresist in the H2/Ar mixed gas plasma (IPa). Diagram of the removal rate of the agent. It is known that the photoresist removal rate increases as the bias power increases. Fig. 6 is a view showing the deposit removability of the sidewall of the gate electrode caused by the presence or absence of the wafer bias power. Fig. 6(a) shows the case where the wafer bias is not applied, Fig. 6 (Fig. 6) b) indicates the case where the wafer bias (50 W) has been applied. 201001535 In the case of forming a metal of the metal gate 601, when a material having a lower vapor pressure of a compound such as TasiN or a halogen is selected, a deposit 602 is generated on the side wall of the electrode during etching. When the photoresist is removed without applying a wafer bias, as shown in Fig. 6(a), deposits 60 2 remain after the photoresist is removed. When 50 W is applied as the wafer bias, the deposit 6 0 2 can be removed as shown in Fig. 6(b). This is based on the removal of deposits 602 by physical sputtering while promoting the decomposition reaction of the deposits by the energy of the accelerated ions. The ion energy is approximately proportional to the amplitude V p p ( V ) of the wafer bias voltage. In the example shown in Fig. 5, when the bias power is 50 W, Vpp is 350 V, and when the bias power is 100 W, Vpp is 600 V.
Vpp愈大,光阻劑去除速度即愈大,但是隨著Vpp的 增加,作爲閘極絕緣膜的Hf Si ON膜102及其下層的Si基 板1 0 1會因離子照射而受到損傷。若考慮到元件特性的測 定結果及光阻劑的去除速度,偏壓電壓的振幅Vpp係以 1500V以下爲佳。此外,以 500V(80W)至 l〇〇V(15W )爲更佳。 第7圖係說明第3實施形態的圖。在第7圖之例中, 係使用在金屬閘極金屬TiN膜107之上沈積有poly-Si膜 70 1的電極作爲閘極電極。藉由該電極構造,poly-Si膜 7 0 1係比第1圖所示的W更難以氧化,因此因氧電漿所導 致的劣化較小,但是由於TiN膜1 07的金屬部分受到氧化 ,因此仍然會產生元件的劣化。因此,在該構造元件中, 藉由氫電漿所進行的光阻劑去除係具有抑制元件特性劣化 -10- 201001535 的效果。 第8圖係表示蝕刻所使用之Η2/ΑΓ Ar的比例與光阻劑去除速度的關係圖。 未使用氧而去除光阻劑時,係有前述 載的方法,亦即使用氫原子或氫分子的中 。但是,該方法由於光阻劑去除能力比使 低,在金屬閘極加工後的光阻劑去除中, 此外,光阻劑去除所使用的氣體係陵 、H2/稀有氣體以外,在nh3等含氫氣體 同的效果。其中,將氫與N2或稀有氣體 合比係主要考慮到安全性的氫的稀釋。 第8圖係如前所述表示H2/ Ar之混i 比例與光阻劑去除速度的關係圖,當Ar 時,光阻劑去除速度會降低。因此,稀有 合比例係以5 0%以下爲佳。 其中,在含氫氣體混合CF4、CHF3、 鹵素的氣體時,含有金屬的沈積物的去除 素氣體的混合比例增加,即會發生蝕刻, 30%以下爲佳。此外,以5%至10%爲更佳 如以上說明所示,藉由本發明之實施 種爲了電晶體之高速化所提出之適於具有 金屬閘極之構造之半導體元件之微細加工 尤其,在製造具備有在被稱爲high-k 等介電常數較高的閘極絕緣膜上,沈積有 之混合氣體中之 專利文獻1所記 性自由基的方法 用電漿的方法較 容易出現殘渣。 隹了 h2、h2/ n2 的電漿亦具有相 加以混合時的混 含氣體中之Ar的 的比例超過 5 0 % 氣體或N2的混 nf3、SF6等含有 性會提升。若鹵 因此混合比係以 〇 形態,可提供一 被稱爲high-k/ 的加工方法。 膜的HfO或ZrO TiN 、 TaN 、 Ru -11 - 201001535 或Ru0等以控制工作函數爲目的的金屬之構造的閘極電極 之半導體元件中,在進行乾式蝕刻後的光阻劑去除時,藉 由使用含氫而未含氧的氣體的電漿,在不會使前述沈積有 TiN、TaN、Ru或RuO等金屬之構造的閘極電極氧化的情 形下,即可去除光阻劑。 【圖式簡單說明】 第1圖係說明第1實施形態之半導體加工方法的說明 圖。 第2圖係說明將半導體元件進行加工之加工裝置(電 漿蝕刻裝置)的說明圖。 第3圖係表示使用氧電漿之光阻劑去除之狀態圖。 第4圖係將使用氫電漿及氧電漿而將光阻劑去除後之 閘極配線的阻抗率進行比較之示意圖。說明設備監視控制 裝置的圖。 第5圖係說明第2實施形態的圖。 第6圖係說明第2實施形態的圖。 第7圖係說明第3實施形態的圖。 第8圖係表示混合氣體中的Ar的比例與光阻劑去除 速度的關係圖。 【主要元件符號說明】 1 0 1 : S i基板 1 02 : HfSiON 膜 -12- 201001535 103 : TiN 膜 1 04 : W 膜 105 : SiN 膜 106 :反射防止膜 1 〇 7 :光阻劑 1 0 8 :氫離子 2 0 1 :電漿電源 2 0 2 :天線 203 :窗 2 0 4 :真空腔室 20 5 :試料台 206 :晶圓 2 0 7 :偏壓電源 2 〇 8 :電磁線圈 30 1 :氧離子 3 0 2 :氧化層 601 : TaSiN 膜 6 0 2 :沈積物 701 : poly-Si ΜThe larger the Vpp, the larger the photoresist removal rate, but as the Vpp increases, the Hf SiON film 102 as a gate insulating film and the underlying Si substrate 10 1 are damaged by ion irradiation. In consideration of the measurement result of the element characteristics and the removal rate of the photoresist, the amplitude Vpp of the bias voltage is preferably 1500 V or less. In addition, it is more preferable to use 500V (80W) to l〇〇V (15W). Fig. 7 is a view for explaining a third embodiment. In the example of Fig. 7, an electrode in which a poly-Si film 70 1 is deposited on a metal gate metal TiN film 107 is used as a gate electrode. With this electrode structure, the poly-Si film 7 0 1 is more difficult to oxidize than W shown in Fig. 1, and therefore the deterioration due to the oxygen plasma is small, but since the metal portion of the TiN film 107 is oxidized, Therefore, deterioration of components still occurs. Therefore, in this structural element, the photoresist removal by hydrogen plasma has an effect of suppressing deterioration of element characteristics -10- 201001535. Fig. 8 is a graph showing the relationship between the ratio of Η2/ΑΓ Ar used for etching and the removal rate of the photoresist. When the photoresist is removed without using oxygen, the above-described method is employed, that is, a hydrogen atom or a hydrogen molecule is used. However, this method is low in the removal ability of the photoresist, in the removal of the photoresist after the metal gate processing, and in addition to the gas system used for photoresist removal, H2/rare gas, etc., in nh3 and the like The same effect of hydrogen gas. Among them, the ratio of hydrogen to N2 or a rare gas is mainly based on the dilution of safe hydrogen. Fig. 8 is a graph showing the relationship between the ratio of H2/Ar and the removal rate of the photoresist as described above. When Ar is used, the removal rate of the photoresist is lowered. Therefore, the rare proportion is preferably less than 50%. Among them, when a gas containing CF4, CHF3 or halogen is mixed with a hydrogen-containing gas, the mixing ratio of the gas containing the deposit of the metal increases, that is, etching occurs, preferably 30% or less. Further, 5% to 10% is more preferably as described above, and the microfabrication of a semiconductor element suitable for a structure having a metal gate is proposed by the embodiment of the present invention for speeding up the transistor, in particular, in manufacturing. There is a method in which a plasma is used in a gate insulating film having a high dielectric constant such as high-k, and a method of using a plasma in the mixed gas deposited in the mixed gas is more likely to cause residue. When the plasma of h2, h2/n2 is mixed, the ratio of Ar in the mixed gas is more than 50%. The compatibility of gas or N2, such as nf3 and SF6, is improved. If the halogen is thus in the form of 〇, a processing method called high-k/ can be provided. In the semiconductor element of the gate electrode of the metal structure such as HfO or ZrO TiN , TaN , Ru -11 - 201001535 or Ru0 for controlling the work function, when the photoresist after dry etching is removed, A photoresist using a gas containing hydrogen and not containing oxygen can remove the photoresist without oxidizing the gate electrode having a structure in which a metal such as TiN, TaN, Ru or RuO is deposited.
